WHAT IS ACUPUNCTURE?

Acupuncture is a system of care designed to stimulate the body’s natural healing powers both to maintain health and to address specific conditions. A treatment system in practice for thousands of years, acupuncture eventually became part of a comprehensive natural health system known as Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). TCM views the human body as an energetic whole rather than a combination of isolated body parts. Restoring balance throughout the whole person and thus attaining a state of optimal health is the goal of TCM.

Acupuncture stimulates the flow of energy, oxygen, blood, and vital nutrients in the body by inserting hair-thin sterile needles into specific acupuncture points. Scientific research has demonstrated that stimulating specific acupuncture points engages receptors in the brain that release hormones and natural neuro-chemicals that helps reduce pain, regulate the endocrine system, calm the nervous system, regulate serotonin levels, stimulate the immune system and regulate the hearth’s rhythm. As a result of these newly understood factors, acupuncture is increasing used as an adjunctive treatment for primary care and acute care.
